Thread: The Dream
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Now that Byfield is able to play in the AHL next season due to the new OHL/AHL exception, I don't think we'll see him in the Kings lineup before January at the earliest. He's going to start the season with the Reign then get loaned to the WJC.</div></div>

Yeah, I know. I probably should have mentioned that more specifically, but that's kind of what I meant by Lizotte being a roadblock. It kills me that Lizotte is going to play meaningful minutes over Byfield this year.

In the end this is the "dream" roster, as the title suggests.

Thoughts on the contracts, and roster configuration? I know that Lemieux, Lizotte, and Wagner will probably take the scratches slots unless something happens in the offseason to move them.

Thread: Assuming that the Avalanche cant sign Landeskog
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>if the avs cant sign Landy, hes not signing 8m in Montreal. You have to get to his asking price of 9-10m. And avs do not want Drouin, especially to assist Montreal to singing him
They do not care about reuniting him. let that dream die already

also if Avs dont sign landy, they wont be letting Saad walk for only 4m aav</div></div>

What was the latest offer from the Avs for Gabe? As far as I see it (a fan of neither Montreal or Colorado, but someone who would be VERY interested in having Gabe join my favorite team -- LA), the max deal he got was on the order of approx. $45 mil (the 5.5-6mil x 8 years). To me, I see a very real possibility of someone hitting an 8mil cap hit for Gabe if they can offer the 7th year. I agree this MTL offer doesn't get it done because it's too similar to the Avs offered one, and why would he leave COL for a paltry 3mil?

But if a team like the Kings or Islanders or others came to him with an offer of 7years x $8mil for a total of $56mil? That's over almost 20% more than what he was getting offered from Colorado. I could see him going after an offer like that.

Thread: Leafs Marner Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>I watch LA a lot and you are extremely misguided if you think Vilardi and Roy are enough to get MM.

If this is where you are at you will never end up finding a realistic solution.</div></div>

This isn't a trade with just Roy and Vilardi though. It's got another 1st, a 3nd, and -like I said- approximately 7 mil in cap space since there's no other cap going Toronto's direction.

Marner's basically being run out of town by his own fans, currently. Yet you claim to want an Eichel-like value for him. Why would any team pay that? Especially knowing the favor that they'll be doing for Toronto to get them out of their cap hell?

The value might not quite be there, I just think it's closer than any Leaf's fan would want to admit. It's totally fine if you disagree, because everyone evaluates their own team players differently. My point is simply that I wouldn't pay this price. Not because I'm misguided, but because I think doing it (or any more) hurts the Kings more than helps them.

Frankly, I'd rather overpay for Landeskog in free-agency, or go after a stop-gap like Saad while the prospects develop, than trade for a guy like Marner.
